The Uruguayan arrived in La Liga unbeknownst to almost everyone but his ability quickly shone through.

In what was his debut season last year, Maxi Gomez scored 18 times in 39 total appearances. A one-season wonder he is not either, because the 22-year-old already has nine goals to his name as well as five assists this time around.

Furthermore, Gomez has already been capped nine times by Uruguay and is a very exciting up-and-coming striker.

Whether West Ham have what it takes to lure a player of his capabilities to the London Stadium is unknown right now but what is for sure, if the Hammers lose their star man, they need a top replacement like Maxi Gomez.
